Really excited about the Rarity episode. I always enjoy Rarity epsiodes because they beocme surprisingly realistic pony-tales of things many small time and independant artists, creatives and designers go through: in the past we had ungrateful friends, people meddling in the creative process who have no idea what they are talking about, the importance of networking and image and how a single event can ruin your PR or at least seriously damage it, and now a very serious issue for people of Rarity's position: what happens when a big time brand with the finances and power to steal an independant artitst's work with impunity does so.

Tachy: firstly your name auto corrects to yacht on my phone, lol. Yeah, there were two voice actor panels, both her and Peter New were there. I only saw the second one cause I was only there on the Sunday. I really should have had a photo with Peter too, oh well.

The animation just gets better and better.I'm kind of looking forward to Rainbow Rocks--not hugely, but further expansion on Vinyl Scratch would be neat. Curious as to what they'll do with Twilight's character: the portal's closed, so unless the twin that Pinkie Pie was talking about shows up, or they make up some loophole (I hope not).I'm looking forward to seeing how they handle minor characters' personalities, hopefully not too far from the most popular fanon versions. I'll be disappointed if they include Vinyl without Octavia.

Ooh, the library disappears? I haven't seen it yet (haven't seen any of it yet...stopped watching after Three's a Crowd. I don't have cable, and you really have to watch it the day it comes out online before it gets removed. I'm waiting until they update Netflix, which shouldn't be too long.).Hmm, sounds like it was good, though, I'll have to catch up quickly.

Also, will the tree still be gone next season (or will the Reset Button come into play)?

Didn't Twilight's Castle tree grow where the old one was? But I hope they restore the old library as much as they can. Maybe this is a job for Applebloom, since growing/building/creating things is meant to be her area of expertise.

She transforms into a gun! Manchild scientists explode with delight, which sounds like a plot for a Viva Reverie short... only he'd execute it betterly

Also, this, which is very cute and fairly randomBut I shout it out mainly because it's one of those rare images that gets into 3 Day Top Scoring section of derpibooru without featuring gratuitous nudity...That and I want to boost my post count.

Can't wait for the stream in a weeks time, I'm not very good at avoiding spoilers - at least I haven't succumbed to watching a dodgy version of the movie. Dependant on things, I might be able to hold out until it's released in Australia in November... but not likely.

I actually went to a showing with a group of Bronies a week or so ago. It was a huge step up from the first movie. Just as many nods to the fandom but without such a bad plot. Flash Sentry's role got a lot of complaints, but as someone who didn't hate him in the first movie, it didn't matter to me one way or the other. I found the villains a bit disappointing, though, if only by design: MLP villains are gradually getting showier and showier to outshine the others, and the rest of the cast rest of the cast look positively dull in comparison.But the new Sunset Shimmer is adorable!

I watched that documentary on Bronies the other day and I think I "get it" now.

Like, with the exception of that one person who was basically Comic Book Guy, nobody mentioned the show when they talked about why they liked the show. They all talked about being a part of this community or being able to enjoy things that are just "nice".

Because I watched the first episode of the show a while back to try and wrap my head around this fanbase and it was just... I mean, I've seen worse cartoons for kids but it was still pretty poor.

Patience! Remember, good things come to those who wait, and all that. Mostly I'm happy-ish for it to arrive a little later, as that means I've got a little more time to finish off one of my fanfics before the show makes it even more obsolete.

So naturally the show will arrive as soon as possible...

Anyway, looking forward to that "everypony-is-equal" episode - I'm very curious to see how they handle it, and quite excited. An episode where the Mane 6 come across a society that lives under a completely alien ideology, and/or could be part of an evil conspiracy. Should be fun, and possibly quite dark too. Depends whether the resolution is a cop-out or not.

From what I can surmise from the trailer, Ponyville Castle has a magic map app that will flag up missions across Equestria for the Mane 6 to head off to do. Could be a great starting point for more varied adventures and the fleshing out of Equestria, though I hope we don't lose the slice-of-life storylines, which imho is still probably what the show does best.(entirely my humble opinion, and totally not Anthony C's opinion first!)
